CHENEY — Maddie Meyers of Seattle's Northwest School made it a career sweep of state championships in the girls 3,200 meters, taking her fourth Class 1A title in the event on Friday at Eastern Washington University.
Meyers, a senior who will run for the University of Washington next school year, won in 11 minutes, 5.24 seconds. She edged junior Sally Larson of Cedar Park Christian (Bothell) in a repeat of last year's finish. Larson was just behind in 11:07.44.
